Currently the Pfizer vaccine is 84% effective in the clinical data from the ongoing trial.
That means that after 6 months 16% of vaccinated people are in exactly the same boat as unvaccinated people.
This is a misconception stemming from not knowing what words mean. A vaccine functions by creating antibodies that make you immune to a disease. It's defined as making you immune. When they said 95% effective that was 95% of subjects in the trial were immune to contacting the rona after a single exposure to a single strain in the preliminary data, as the trials still aren't complete to this day.Couple misconceptions
1. You can still catch covid with the vaccine. It just will not cause you to be deathly ill.
